WHat I have tried:
1.Updated and installed /reinstalled Audigy 2Z drivers
2. Run hard disk diagnostics (Scanrite, great tool BTW)
3. Run system file checker sfc /scannow
4. Updated my ATI 9800 drivers to latest Catalyst, then rolled them back again
5. Played with all the performance settings
6.Run complete NOD32 scan-negative
7.Run complete Webroot scan-negative
8.PerfectDisk defrag
None of this helps, this game crashes no matter what I do, and then goes off to the error reporting where it is shipping off a large amount of data to someone.
This really IS pissing me off!
Why is there NO dedicated support forum for this product?
The MS Games site is frackin' USELESS!
Questions:
I am not the only one it seems, I am still sane.
What does the setting useVLLTUNE actually do?
My personal.ini is here: Does ANYONE have any ideas here? Look forward to hearing more from all of you.

My intuition is the audio drivers although it idid not help by rolling them back.
Next hunch would be a huge memory leak issue.
